Ke apl Can Ö., Can Bilgin C. 2005. Stopover ecology of some passerines at Ankara (Central Turkey). Ring 27, 2: 127-136. In autumn 2002 we studied little known passerine migration at a woodland patch within the Middle East Technical University (METU) campus in Ankara (Turkey). A total of 954 individuals of 35 passerine species were mist-netted, ringed, measured, weighed and fat-scored (after Busse 2000). Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) and Willow Warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus) were the two most common species, with 308 and 145 individuals caught, respectively. Both are passage migrants at METU, recorded from mid-August to late October, representing several waves. Only 11.5% of Blackcaps had the fat score of T6 and above, and among 20 retraps only 2 gained fat significantly. All the other retraps lost fat, stayed the same, or increased 1-2 scores at most. In contrast, Willow Warblers, as true trans-Saharan migrants, had the much higher proportion (46%) of individuals with fat scores of T6 and above. Most retrapped individuals gained fat, some with already high levels stayed the same, while none lost fat. We interpret these data in terms of known migratory ranges, diet types and habitat patch quality. Although daily catches were low, a diverse range of species used METU as a stopover site. Fat deposition rates (of up to 50% of body weight within a week) suggest that the study site provided a high quality stopover habitat for most migrants. In Central Turkey, such suitable habitats with trees or tall shrubs are scarce, and therefore, crucial for migrants

In situ monitoring of vancomycin resistance genes in surface waters by oligonucleotide probes
Nakipoğlu, Mustafa; İçgen, Bülent (null; 2015-09-13)
Vancomycin and teicoplanin resistance is a major cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. It is caused by various van genes located on either chromosome or transposons such as Tn1549 and its homologues. They encode proteins responsible of the moiety change on terminal pentapeptide bridge in peptidoglycan layer that eventually hinders the effectiveness of vancomycin up-to 1000 times. Although van genes are mostly found on enterococci, their homologues with high sim...

The population biology of a narrow endemic, centuarea tchihatcheffii fisch and mey.(compositate), in Ankara Turkey
Çakaroğulları, Didem; Çakaroğulları, Didem; Department of Biology (2005)
Centaurea tchihatcheffii Fisch. & Mey. is a critically endangered annual plant species with a narrow distribution in Gölbaşı, Ankara. The aim of this study is to understand the population dynamics of the species to help find the best way to conserve species for long term viability. The two healthiest subpopulations containing more than 1.5 million individuals were studied to estimate demographic parameters i.e. survival and reproduction rates by monitoring marked individuals, to identify pollinators, disper...
Proteome analysis of blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei inoculated barley
Özgazi, Neşe; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Department of Biotechnology (2009)
Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei is a biotroph pathogen that causes powdery mildew disease in barley. In this study, Pallas01 and Pallas03 barley lines having Mla1, Ml (Al2) and Mla6, Mla14 R-genes were inoculated with Bgh103(64/01) race of the Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei having avirulence and virulence to Pallas01 and Pallas03, respectively. The proteins were isolated from the three biological replicates of 12, 24, and 48 hpi samples following the method in Rampitsch et al., 2006. These there biological...
Providing Cheap Land for Social Housing: Breaching the State Aid Regulations of the Single European Market?
Tasan-Kok, Tuna; Groetelaers, Danielle A.; Haffner, Marietta E. A.; van der Heijden, Harry M. H.; Altes, Willem K. Korthals (Informa UK Limited, 2013-04-01)
Tasan-Kok T., Groetelaers D. A., Haffner M. E. A., van der Heijden H. M. H. and Korthals Altes W. K. Providing cheap land for social housing: breaching the state aid regulations of the single European Market?, Regional Studies. European Union member states are not permitted to provide aid that will distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods which may then undermine trading in the European market. This prohibition also affects government authorities that are will...
